Tattoos For Tots- don’t worry, it’s not what you think!

From time to time here on Tattoosday UK, we hear a story about how tattoos are being marketed to younger audiences every day. Some love the promotion of diversity, others hate the “invasion” of innocence. Either way, you can’t hide from the fact kids love tattoos.
Tattoos For Tots has taken this idea of temporary children’s’ tattoos and made an attempt to make it educational. Each tattoo is designed to be appropriate for the child’s age, and will teach them important literacy skills. To me, this sounds brilliant. I’m sure we can all remember using those stick on tattoos you’d get from bubblegum when you were a kid, almost every kid did it. So why not make something educational and fun?
I can imagine there’ll be some negative responses from some parents, which is a shame. Yes, this won’t be for everyone, and that’s fine, but if Tattoos For Tots suffers the same response as Mattel’s Totally Stylin’ Tattoo Barbie, it would be awful. I hope more products come out that will subtly teach children about tattoos and diversity.
Tattoos For Tots can be found by clicking here and accessing their online store. Why not buy some now, and go scare grandma like in the old days?
To any of our RSS readers wondering why I quickly changed the title of this article, I realised how misleading it was, as there’s been no real response to the product. My mistake! I wouldn’t want to write something misleading to reel you guys in, that’s what The Daily Mail or The Guardian’s for! =P
